A child who has cystic fibrosis (CF)
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching about nutrition to the parents of a child who has cystic fibrosis (CF). Which of the following responses by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "We will give our child pancreatic enzymes with snacks and meals." This response indicates an understanding of the teaching because individuals with CF often have pancreatic insufficiency, leading to poor absorption of nutrients. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is crucial to help digest and absorb fats, proteins, and carbohydrates from food. Without these enzymes, the child may not receive adequate nutrition.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: "I will limit my child's fluid intake." This is incorrect because hydration is important for individuals with CF to help maintain mucus clearance and prevent dehydration.
C: "We will restrict the amount of salt in our child's food." While salt restriction may be necessary for some conditions, it is not a primary concern for individuals with CF.
D: "I will prepare low-fat meals with limited protein for my child." This is incorrect because individuals with CF often require a higher calorie and protein intake to meet their nutritional needs due to malabsorption issues.
